What Jesse Ickler helped me understand was how one clear goal for the year defines that year, and how we can approach our goals with that defining moment in mind.

I am pretty sure people who practice actual misogi are rolling their eyes at this definition - but I embrace it fully. I use the word ‘misogi’ to define how I intend my year to be, and its already made a difference.

Facilitation is a key aspect of Product Management and one of many areas I can opine on, which may have application for others who are still unfamiliar with the concept. I fell into Product Management before I knew what it was. I’ve applied it to many areas of my life over the years - relationships, kids, work, health - the core concepts have helped me in many ways. Perhaps they can also help others.
